My new novel, You Are Most Precious, is now available next door. Visit my author page to find it.

[1] After three years of dating, Bai Xiao never takes Sheng Xia to meet his friends, and almost never accepts invitations from hers.

Because of this, Sheng Xia feels like the filling in a sandwich. Her best friends are always teasing her for having no standing in the relationship, saying her romance is as bland and tasteless as plain water.

Sheng Xia takes it in stride. She knows what Bai Xiao is like.

Real life isn't full of grand passions. A quiet, ordinary life is what really matters.

Only later does she realize that it isn't true that he never had that kind of passion. He once loved someone with all-consuming intensity.

He wanted to marry her, and it was all because of that person.

[2] In the eyes of everyone at Junye Law Firm, their boss is calm and self-possessed, always in control of his emotions. Nothing has ever made him lose control.

Then one day, their boss grips his ex-girlfriend's hand with all his might. That usually aloof, refined man seems to fall to earth in an instant. "Can't we even be friends?"

Both are each other's first and only, photographer/law firm boss, ex-wife-chasing crematorium, no changing the male lead.

Coming next: You Are Most Precious

During the four years Tang Zhenzhen was with Pei Feng, he was a penniless nobody. The two were inseparable, the campus's model couple.

Pei Feng was the sort of man who, even if he had only a hundred yuan, would give every last cent to Tang Zhenzhen and keep none for himself. Tang Zhenzhen laughed at him for being silly. "If you give it all to me, won't you starve?"

He answered gently, with a hint of roguishness. "Don't I have you? I won't starve."

Tang Zhenzhen swung a fist at him, pretending to be angry. "Shameless."

But beneath her words, the corners of her mouth curved up in a smile she couldn't suppress.

After experiencing a love so intense it felt like it could last until death, Tang Zhenzhen spent a long time after their breakup doubting herself deeply.

When they met again at a banquet, an elegant beauty stood beside him, her long, straight black hair falling over her shoulders. She was gentle and lovely.

She looked just like Tang Zhenzhen had in college.

Tang Zhenzhen calmly shook his hand, watching indifferently as the girl flirted with him.

After the banquet, she stood in the cold wind wearing a sexy spaghetti-strap dress. A black Bentley stopped in front of her. "Get in. I'll give you a ride."

She didn't move. Standing where she was, no longer gentle and obedient as she used to be, she gave a cold laugh. "Mr. Pei, after all these years, your taste hasn't changed at all."

Pei Feng smiled. His eyes reflected her sexy red V-neck dress. In their four years together, he'd never seen her dress like this.

"That's right. It never changed."

The only person I've ever loved is you.

A few months later,

Tang Zhenzhen looked at the man blocking her way and laughed softly. "Mr. Pei, I'm difficult and ungrateful. I suggest you stop wasting your time on me."

"Compared with someone who has assets worth hundreds of millions but would only give me ten million, I prefer a man who has only a hundred yuan but is willing to spend it all on me."

The rain fell harder and harder. He watched her with a grim expression and said nothing.

Early the next morning, Tang Zhenzhen's phone received message after message.

[Pei Feng transferred XX000000000 yuan to you.] Right after that came a stream of notifications saying houses and cars had been transferred into her name.

Tang Zhenzhen was completely stunned.

The doorbell rang. The man stood at her door, holding a crisp, new hundred-yuan bill.

"All my assets, a hundred yuan, are yours." He firmly shoved the bill into her hand, his voice low. "So, can you be with me now?"

#I don't love money, I only love you# #What does it feel like to get rich overnight?# #You are my most precious treasure#

Pre-release 2: When the Lights Fade

Xie Yun and Su Wenzhe met when they were three. To everyone else, they were childhood sweethearts. To each other, they were sworn enemies in name only.

When Xie Yun turned twenty-nine, the two married by agreement. After the wedding, they kept to their own sides of the house, and Xie Yun thought they would simply go their separate ways once the agreement expired. But the usually carefree man suddenly changed, becoming the perfect husband in everyone's eyes.

Whenever Xie Yun tried to walk away, the whole extended family would surround her and gang up on her.

"Yunyun, is there someone else?" "Yunyun, cut ties with whoever it is, and think of a way to apologize to Wenzhe tonight." Xie Yun... Did she really look like the sort of woman who'd be unfaithful?! And what kind of love potion had Su Wenzhe given them all!

Later, Xie Yun discovered that Su Wenzhe really was rather good at giving people the impression he'd bewitched them. #All my wild ways are because I want to surrender to you.
